A 30-year-old man was accidentally shot by a Cook County Sheriff's deputy this afternoon at a Logan Square residence, police said.

Emergency crews were called to the 2500 block of North Spaulding Avenue after the man was shot about 1:40 p.m., said Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Daniel O'Brien. The man was shot in the leg, apparently accidentally, by the Sheriff's deputy, O'Brien said.

The shooting victim was taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center in good-to-fair condition, said Chicago Fire Department spokesman Richard Rosado. The man was listed in good condition this afternoon, O'Brien said.
